Whether Mr.. Owen, who posed rs

sponsible. The certificate holders have
paid their money into the pool, and 1t
Is gone. They find themselves tenants

THE SUNDAY SALOON.

Mayor Hewitt of New York and the
Excise Board Of that city, are In favor
of licensing the sale of beer and wine
on Sundays, and bill to this effect,
authorizing the issue of special licenses
IN the discretion of the Excise Commis.
sioners, has been drafted for presenta.
tion 10 the Legislature. The idea is
understood to have originated with Mr..
Hewitt; II was he. Mt least, who first
made the suggestion, but certainly not
with any expectation that ii woul
ever be sanctioned at Albany.
There is large element of the for.
eign population of the Metropolis to
which the proposed legislation would
probably be acceptable; and If 1t were
possible to so regulate the Sunday af-
ternoon and evening traffic which Mr..
Hewitt recommends, as only to include
the orderly and respectable classes
within Its provisions, the law would be
unobjectionable. But experience has
shown that social usages which are
entirely proper in Paris or Berlin, con.
tributing largely to the happiness and
contentment Of the people, simply be-
cause the people possess q rational
faculty Of enjoying the good things of
life without abusing them, cannot be
safely transplanted to American soil,
even under the best of police regula-
tiop.
The German and Frenchman can
make holiday out of Sunday without
at all violating the religious sanctity
of the day nor would they disturb the
peace of the city were the wine and
beer saloons 10 be kept open all the
day long. Their driuEing is much
more OF family matter than 1t is with
the average Notwithstanding not
10 be ashamed Of and for everybody
about the house to enjoy-and they
cannot understand why it is that, hav.
ing the freedom Of the saloons all the
week, they should he compelled to
sneak into side doors or dodge police
men up blind alleys In order TO get O
glass of beer on Sunday.
Blu, Mayor Hewitt would soon find
ont that 1t would never do to throw
open the drinking places TO the hetero
geneous population of New York-tht
idle and vicious, the habItually intem
perate and disorderly classes-and con
vert the metropolitan Sunday into
general holiday with It's festive accom-
paniments To thousands of people
such a holiday would be a day OF nolsl
excess and dissipation, and not Of res
and quiet recreation.
A law permitting the sale Of win
and beer would be made to cover tn,
sale of all kinds of liquors, md insteat
of being limited to well behaved anC
respectable patrons would necessarily
extend to the riotous and depraved, ant
prove an additional incentive to i'm
providence on the part of many who
can least afford to drink up thell
weekly savings.
1t may be urged that license to sell
on certain stringent conditions Is better
than persistent evasion of existing law,
but all laws are evaded and the license

TnE very question has arisen to con
fuse and cmbarrass the District Com
missloners which they desired to avoid.
In making up their original estimates
for street improvements, they were re-
Quircd to name specific amounts for
specific localities, contrary TO their own
better recommendation that approprla.
tons for these purposes should be made
In lump sum, leaving its expenditure
unhamperod by restrictions. Being
ovcrrulcd in this matter, schedule Of
particulars was furnished, and rs re-
suit there were three cases, mentioned
In the letter of inquiry from the Com
missioners TO Comptroller Durham, IN
which Congress appropriated sums
that exceed the estimates and to the
amount of the excess are unavailable
for use elsewhere than upon the streets
specifically named. Whether the un.
used balances can be utilized at.all or
not Is what the Commissioners want to
know of the Comptroller. 1t Is the
first time that such question has
arisen, and It would not have arisen In
this case had Congress left more dis.
creiion to the Commissioners, who
knew what they were about, md not
assumed so much TO itself on II sab
